Fixture: Colchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Competition: EFL Cup
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)
Tottenham Hotspur have named their starting team and substitutes to go up against Colchester United at the JobServe Community Stadium in the EFL Cup this evening.
Mauricio Pochettino is still looking for his first piece of silverware as Tottenham manager and will want his side to avoid a potential banana skin in the shape of Colchester tonight.
Tottenham went down to a damaging 2-1 defeat at Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday, something which has upped the urgency for Spurs to respond this evening.
Pochettino has Paulo Gazzaniga between the sticks, while in defence he picks Davinson Sanchez and Japhet Tanganga.
Further up the pitch Pochettino selects Eric Dier, while Victor Wanyama and Oliver Skipp also play. Dele Alli and Lucas Moura support Troy Parrott.
Tottenham have options on the bench if they need to make changes at any point during the game and Pochettino can turn to Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen.
Tottenham Hotspur Team vs Colchester United
Gazzaniga, Walker-Peters, Sanchez, Tanganga, Davies, Dier (c), Wanyama, Skipp, Alli, Lucas, Parrott
Substitutes: Lloris, Foyth, Vertonghen, Sissoko, Eriksen, Lamela, Son
